Some recent listener feedback

Hi guys,
Just a heads up, I find your appraisals are not consistent 😜
Take for instance the "oooooh" and "arrrrr" for Tamron's lodged patent for a 115mm 1.4f lens, now if I remember, I mentioned Nikon's 105mm 1.4 some episodes back, and the fanfare was like, "I yeah, not that much into bokeh or words to that effect.
Well at least you can walk into a shop right now and purchase it, it's not just on the drawing board. Anyway I had my grumpy old man rant for the day.
Keep the pods coming😊
Cheers Carl
Wow, made the podcast again.
I really enjoyed the Landscape photographer of the year book. It has great photos of the English countryside along with a short story of how the photo was made and the camera settings. It was helpful for me to see what kind of photos were chosen as the winners.
Have a good one, Bruce, love the show.

Hi guys, another interesting podcast.
Very surprised and disappointed to hear Glynn's info about the liquidation of L&P. They are just near my home and I recently bought a Tenba messenger bag from them. I concur with Glynn's comments about their bags, they are very well designed and well made. Another great photography store lost to us.
Keep up the great work,
Peter Sambell

This week, Microsoft announces that 3 flavours of Linux are coming (are already available?) to the Windows app store. Story 1 | Story 2
As someone who has embraced Linux and is loving Darktable, I figured this means anyone who is interested in dt can give it a run inside a Virtual Machine without completely ditching Windows. Woohoo!

Plus, we feature the first half of an hour-long chat with Joe Edelman. Amongst other good stuff, Joe talks about why the majority of photo workshops are a waste of time. Say wha? But… but… Glynn and Malcolm conduct workshops! What is this heresy?

Steve Peters brought us this follow up to the story last week about the image of the young Indian sex worker. Turns out, it’s a much deeper story, and we’re not sure there’s a clear cut answer to any of the questions raised. If you missed it, here’s the link from last week’s episode.

Glynn is slightly miffed at Adobe’s price-gouging of Australian customers due to (non-existent) ‘currency fluctuations’. And on this note, I’ve got some interesting news to share in the next episode!
Plus the photographer who accidentally shot the wrong couple’s wedding proposal!
And there’s the 3 year/8TB timelapse! Now, THAT’S commitment to a project!

And here in Australia, today is Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums listening.

This week, Glynn would like to dedicate the episode to Hilda Clayton, a combat photographer killed in the line of duty in 2013.
He also later decided we should jointly dedicate this episode to new listener, Scott. 🙂 Welcome, Scott!

Adam sent us the story of the camera which can capture the movement of light at five trillion photos per second.
Sounds to me like sombody’s compentsating for something. 🙂

And Glynn found a site called Smart Watermarks. The premise is that you upload non-watermarked images to your social media channels THROUGH the Samrt Watermarks pipeline. Then, if anyone downloads your image, your watermark is applied to the image there and then. Very clever.
